CHARGING
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger's power cord to the receptacle.
2. Insert the battery in the charger.
Position the battery so that the nameplate faces toward
the nameplate of the charger and press in the battery
until it comes into contact with the bottom plate (See
Fig. 3).
Inserting the battery will turn on the charger (the pilot
lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power
cord from the receptacle and check the battery
mounting condition.
The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is fully
charged.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc., just
after operation, the charger pilot lamp may not light.
At that time cool the battery fi rst, then start charging.
◯ Regarding recharging time
Table 1 shows the recharging time required according to
the type of battery.
Table 1 Recharging time (approx. min.) at 20°C
Battery capacity (Ah)
BCL1015
NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature and power source voltage.
3. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle.
4. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and
batteries that have not been used for an extended period
is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging
will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If
you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use.
If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its
internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the
battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
◯ When the battery charger has been continuously used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

40 min.
◯ If the battery charger does not work while the battery
is mounted correctly, it is probable that the battery or
charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. Battery Level Warning Lamp
The battery level can be checked by pulling the trigger
switch while the power tool is in a no-load state. The
battery level warning lamp lights when the battery power
is very low. If this happens, charge the battery. (Fig. 4)
NOTE
◯ The level at which the battery level warning lamp lights
may vary due to the ambient temperature, characteristics
of the battery, etc. and is intended only as a guide.
◯ The battery level warning lamp may light when the power
tool is overloaded. This does not mean that the battery
power is very low.
Be sure to check the battery level while the tool is in a
no-load state.
2. Lock Off button (Fig. 5)
WARNING
Never lock the Lock Off button in depressed position.
Pulling back the switch would then cause the tool to
suddenly start operating, which could result in injury.
The tool will not start unless the Lock Off button is
pressed while the switch is pulled back.
The Lock Off button can be engaged by pressing it either
from the right or left.
When the switch is released, the Lock Off button
automatically disengages to prevent inadvertent motor
startup.
3. Blade case (Fig. 6) (Standard accessory with
CH10DL (CG), CH10DL)
When the shrub shear blade is to be attached to or
removed from the tool, or when the shear is not used,
place the blade in the blade case to prevent injury.
4. Blade cover (Fig. 7) (Standard accessory with
CH10DL (CG), CG10DL)
When the grass shear blade is to be attached to or
removed from the tool, or when the shear is not used,
place the blade in the blade cover to prevent injury.
5. Blade box (Fig. 8) (Standard accessory with CH10DL
(CG))
Place the shrub shear blade and the grass shear blade in
the blade box when they are not used.
Also place the crank cam (B) in the blade box to prevent
losing it.
WARNING
Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery from
the tool before attaching and removing the blade case or
blade cover.
CAUTION
To prevent injury, take care when placing the blade in the
blade case, blade cover or blade box.
6. Adjuster (Standard accessory with CH10DL (CG),
CG10DL)
WARNING
Be sure to turn the saw off and remove the battery from
the tool before attaching and removing the adjuster.
CAUTION
Be sure to place the blade in the blade case before
attaching and removing the adjuster to prevent injury by
the blade coming into contact with your hands or face.
